Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

We have a list of the schools, but we do not have the timeline per quarter for each school. It is planned to be done over the next two years. When NBI is designing the network, it works out the best way to get to the schools and what it can do. We are prioritising the worst-off schools with the Department of Education. I expect that in the next three to six months we will have visibility and it will be on our website what school is getting broadband and when.

Data centres are commercial outfits. Apple and Google have commercial data centres for their services. The exchanges that Mr. Neary was talking about in Claremorris, Galway and other places are not data centres; they are exchanges where one has equipment. The national broadband network would not come back to data centres.
